In the first month of the third year of Zhenming (the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, 589), during the Spring Festival, the Imperial City of Nanchen is brightly lit, today is the annual Lantern Festival, and many people are happily strolling on the street.

In the crowd there is a forty-year-old middle-aged man, dressed in a gorgeous costume, followed by three people, at a glance is a noble person, this person slowly wandered in the crowd, this person is the emperor of Nan Chen - the queen of Chen, he is also to see the annual Lantern Festival today, with the eunuch micro clothes out of the palace, hoping to give himself some inspiration to compose poems.

Chen Houzhu walked to a small bridge and saw many girls putting lanterns by the river, each lantern floated into the distance with a faint candlelight, Chen Houzhu looked at the lanterns in the distance, and his face leaked a trace of relief. At this time, the eunuch beside him came over and said to Empress Chen: "Your Majesty, but with inspiration, I haven't seen Your Majesty so happy for a long time." The old slave was also happy. Chen Houzhu looked into the distance and said: "It's not that I have inspiration, but I came out today to see the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the imperial city, and I am also happy." The eunuch immediately agreed: "That must be, under the rule of Your Majesty, people will definitely be happier." Although Empress Chen knew that this was a eunuch patting on the back, Empress Chen was very happy.

Chen Houzhu looked at it for a while and was about to leave, when he saw a girl standing next to the lantern stall in front, the girl was dressed in white, it seemed to be a young lady of which house, and there was a maid next to her, maybe the young lady had not been out much, and she would come over curiously when she saw anything, she saw that the lanterns on the lantern stall were very beautiful, and she liked it very much. "Boss, how do you sell these lanterns?" asked the maid when she saw that the young lady liked it. The boss replied: "Girl, please see, my lantern is not for sale, the girl can guess the lantern riddle with me, guess right, I will give this lantern to the girl, how about it?" ”

Chen Houzhu saw that the girl in front of him was very beautiful and liked it very much, so he walked to the lantern stall to watch the girl guess the lantern riddle. The boss said to the girl: "Look at the girl's dress, the girl hasn't left the cabinet yet, then I take the liberty of asking the girl." Please listen to Haola, I'm so busy that I can't even take care of getting married. The maid beside the young lady immediately said: "Bold, you dare to be rude to my young lady." Believe it or not..."The maid was interrupted by the young lady before she could finish speaking: "Okay, Xiaoyue, don't say it." Then he said to the boss, "Excuse me, boss, don't be embarrassed." We then guessed the lantern riddles, and we were so busy that we couldn't even take care of getting married, and we were so busy that we couldn't even take care of getting married. Hou Zhu Chen saw that the young lady was talking about the riddle, and thought that the young lady couldn't guess it, so he stepped forward: "There is no idle word." After hearing this, the boss immediately smiled and said, "This gentleman guessed correctly, this lantern is for you, Miss is embarrassed." Empress Chen took the lantern, turned to the young lady and said, "This young lady, since you like it, then I will give you the lantern, okay." The young lady was very angry: "Who made you talk too much, I have already thought of it, I don't want your lamp." After saying that, he was about to leave, and the eunuch beside Empress Chen said, "Bold, how dare you talk to my master like this?" "Apologize to my master, or you won't want to leave. The eunuch may have said that the voice was also loud, and there were many people around him immediately, and the maid saw this anxiously and said: "Let go of my young lady, and then say what your master is, why do you grab the lantern with my young lady, you are still reasonable." ”

Seeing the eunuch and the maid arguing, Empress Chen turned to the young lady and said, "This girl, I see that you are beautiful, can you go to have tea with me." There was a hint of ridicule in the words, and after the young lady heard this, her little face immediately turned red, and the maid quickly turned to the queen Chen and said, "You are bold, you are really shameless to tease my young lady in public." Miss, go. Pulling Miss was about to leave, Hou Master Chen immediately went over to block the road, and said: "I really like Miss, can you give me a chance to know Miss Fang's name?" The girl didn't want to pay attention to Hou Master Chen, and wanted to leave here quickly, the maid saw this, pushed away Hou Master Chen and pulled Miss forward, and Hou Master Chen immediately let the eunuch surround him.

"Stop, in front of the public, are you lawless? Between them, two young sons walked over, and these two were none other than Yang Fei and Yang Yi, the generals of Nan Chen. The Yang family army led by Yang Fei and Yang Yi was invincible, and the two generals were even more brave and invincible, known as the Yang family's double tigers. Yang Fei and Yang Yi walked over, the eunuchs immediately recognized it, and took a step back in fright, the young lady and the maid took the opportunity to run behind the two sons, Yang Fei saw the person who was flirting with the girl, recognized it was Chen Houzhu, raised his hand and clenched his fist to Chen Houzhu and said: "This lord, no matter what happened, can you give me the next face today and let these two girls go." "Hou Master Chen knows the temper of the Yang family brothers, if they don't let go, these two brothers will definitely not give up, in the eyes of Hou Chen, the Yang family can be so horizontal, nothing more than great achievements, Chen Hou Lord was very angry and waved his hand at the eunuch, and left with people. Since then, Empress Chen has been haunted by this incident.

Seeing Empress Chen walking away, Yang Fei said to the girl: "Girl, let's go, be careful when you go out in the future." He nodded politely and was about to leave, when he was stopped by the girl: "Thank you today, please ask the son's surname, and thank the two sons for their kindness in the future." Yang Yi turned around and said, "This is my brother Yang Fei, my name is Yang Yi, there is no need to thank you." Take care, girl. With that, the two of them left.

The girl watched the two sons walk away...
